Fran said: If you are asking where to buy uniodized salt, I just get it at the local supermarket. Well, that's what I did the last time, but this year, several of the local stores didn't have any uniodized salt, and the ones that did were charging premium prices for it! Mary

Ladies gents, I'm in the market for a new cover for a recent adopted Uniquely You dressmakers dummy. A friend pulled her out of a dumpster. She's been washed in the process the cover shredded must be replaced. I'd shop locally but there's no one near who seems to carry covers only. I'm

Cin, I wouldn't bother buying a cover. Just draft or drape a princess-seam sloper on yerself, with a center front seam and two eyelets at CF, at your bustline. Then you just need the zipper. I made a cover out of canvas because I found the material the stock cover is made of to be awfully

Claudine, The U You forms are _all_ too large for your given size. Especially the boobage! My spouse and I went into hysterics when we saw mine unboxed for the first time. She was so *excessively* perky. . . Ahh the memories. I still giggle when I think of it. PS Cin-- I was gonna say the

They are the company I bought my own Uniquely You from. I liked them, price was best at the time, shipping was fast and no problems. But I'd also suggest making your own cover. Considering the work a friend and I put into fitting mine with their cover, and knowing the cover size barely fit the
